Can I customize the ingredients to suit my dietary preferences?

Certainly! Feel free to tailor this recipe to fit your dietary needs and preferences. You can experiment with different nut or seed butters, alternative sweeteners, or even swap the dark chocolate for sugar-free milk chocolate if desired.

How do I store this Peanut Butter Bark?

To maintain freshness, store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it should last for up to one week. You can also freeze the bark for longer-term storage, simply thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

Can I add other mix-ins to the bark?

Absolutely! Get creative with your mix-ins to add texture and flavor to the bark. Chopped nuts, dried fruits, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top can take this recipe to the next level. Just be mindful of the additional carbs if you're aiming to keep the overall carb count low.

What is the benefit of using flaxseed and protein powder in this recipe?

Ground flaxseed adds a boost of fiber and healthy fats to the bark, while protein powder increases the protein content, making it a more satisfying and nourishing snack option. These ingredients also contribute to the low-carb nature of the recipe.

Can I make this recipe without a loaf pan?

Absolutely! While a loaf pan makes for easy slicing, you can spread the peanut butter mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet instead. Once chilled, you can break the bark into irregular pieces for a rustic look.

Is this recipe suitable for children?

Yes, this bark can be a great option for kids, especially those who are active or need extra protein in their diet. However, be mindful of any nut allergies they may have and adjust ingredients accordingly. Kids can also have fun helping to make and customize the bark with their favorite mix-ins.

    I wish there was an alternate for those of us who are unable to eat any kind of protein powders/drinks, I’d love to have made and had this handy.
